This is the 1955 Studebaker Commander Regal Coupe that I have recently purchased
as it looked in 1984 recently after it was restored by Ray Martin of Canada.
It is a Canadian car, built in Hamilton, Ontario and when this pic was taken it had been a one owner car.
It is equipped with a 259 CID engine, three speed and overdrive. wire wheels, skirts, radio, heater, wide whites,
dual antennaes, and a red and black naugahyde interior.
It sat in a garage for 13 years, never driven, never started, until I saw it and made an offer.
...and this is what I bought.
...but then---we cleaned it !!
Now it joins my semi-stock 1955 Stude pickup
and my still unfinished 455 CID Oldsmobile powered coupe. Quite an addition
too I might add. All I need now is my cousins Jet Green 1964 Daytona Hdtp..
.and three garages... and time... and MONEY!!
